Add custom actions to the layer context menu in the USD Layer Editor?

[KristofferHelander]

I would like to add my own actions (using Python) to the right-click context menu of a USD layer in the USD Layer Editor, to call my own functions that uses that layer as a parameter.

I found this topic to access the USD Layer Editor and modify the action of the Save button.

But I haven't been able to work out how to highjack the right-click context menu of an individual layer, and how to get the reference to the layer to send it as a parameter to the function being called from the custom menu action.

Is this possible? If so, how? :)

Unfortunately we don't have any callback method to hook into that context menu. But as you asked you could probably hijack it. Have a look at where its called from and what its calling. The code is in our repo here.

The easiest thing to would be for you to modify the mayaUsdMenu_layerEditorContextMenu function in your MayaUsd install. You can have it call your python function by using the MEL command python.
